“With its spirited cast of characters, sharply drawn settings and well-maintained suspense, Huguette should earn many votes as one of the best historical thrillers of the year.”
—Tom Nolan, The Wall Street Journal

“Cara Black’s Huguette is a propulsive dive into the demi-monde of postwar France, full of moral ambiguity and striking characters.”
—Sasha Vasilyuk, author of Your Presence Is Mandatory

“A fast-paced, gritty thriller . . . A wonderful novel about a natural survivor whose actions often fall outside the law, but who is so likeable that you cannot help but root for her . . . Highly recommended.”
—Historical Novels Review

“Black is a consummate storyteller, and this fast-paced, enthralling novel features many of the elements her readers have come to expect: expertly drawn characters, a twisty plot, and richly detailed settings (here, a side of Paris seldom seen by tourists).”
—Library Journal, Starred Review

“Huguette’s journey is extraordinary, and her courage and resourcefulness make for an engaging read. Black’s fans may clamor for more of this extraordinary character.”
—Booklist

“Vivid . . . [Black] renders the textures and social mores of postwar Paris with aplomb. Historical mystery fans will root for Huguette all the way to the novel’s bittersweet end.”

Praise for Cara Black

“Heart-racing . . . Chances that you’ll be able to put Black’s thriller down once you’ve picked it up? Slim to none.”
—The Washington Post

—Los Angeles Times

“Black . . . excels at setting vivid scenes, creating lively characters and maintaining pulse-elevating suspense.”
—The Wall Street Journal
